Weston Green Preparatory School is Independent Primary school in Surrey for kids aged 3 to 11 (Gender - Mixed )
Weston Green School is an Excellent rated co-educational independent school in Thames Ditton, Surrey, for pupils aged two to eleven years.Weston Green prides itself on nurturing the individual talents and personalities of every pupil. We provide a safe, exciting, well-resourced environment for your child to grow and develop. We believe that every child should enjoy their childhood and that learning should be challenging and fun.The dedicated teachers have a wealth of experience, expertise and curriculum knowledge, having aspirations for each child to become inquisitive and creative learners, undaunted by their mistakes and eager to face increasingly complex challenges. You will see a school day which places a high priority on the core areas of reading, writing, mathematics and science, yet engages a child in learning these in a highly imaginative and innovative curriculum. In this way children develop such crucial skills for learning which then benefits the broad, diverse and rich thematic curriculum we offer.
Facilities
Nursery, Kindergarten and Reception
Early Years Foundation Stage at Weston Green School is housed in our purpose-built Early Years building, providing a safe, familiar and happy learning environment for children from the age of two years old. Once a child joins us in Nursery, they are guaranteed a school place with us all the way through to Year Six.It is of paramount importance that our youngest learners feel secure and confident from the moment they start their learning journey with us at Weston Green School. Our Early Years curriculum allows our experienced and dedicated team of Practitioners to focus on each unique child and to give them opportunities to interact in positive relationships and enabling environments that encourage their engagement and recognise their strengths
Years 1 & 2
In Key Stage 1 (KS1) pupils progress from the EYFS to engage in a more formalised style of learning and begin to explore subjects in greater depth, which involves subjects being taught discretely with cross curricular links. Over the past couple of years we have continued to develop our 'Thematic Curriculum' which is now embedded across the school. Learning in this way enables children to remain engaged and motivated, make clear links between subjects and to apply a range of skills across all areas of the curriculum.
Years 3, 4, 5 & 6
Key Stage 2 (KS2) covers Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 of primary education. KS2 pupils progress from the KS1 curriculum to the second stage of a child’s primary education to engage in a more formalised style of teaching and learning and they begin to explore subjects in greater depth, following a balanced thematic curriculum which is now embedded across the school. Learning in this way enables children to remain engaged and motivated, make clear links between subjects and to apply a range of skills across all areas of the curriculum.In Lower Key Stage 2 (Year 3 and 4) the children are taught in mixed ability groups. Offering smaller sized classes allows us to set high expectations as well as fully supporting them to reach their potential through our carefully planned thematic curriculum and differentiated lessons.
